(PLAYING GENTLE MELODY)
(STOPS PLAYING) I can't
remember the last time
we had a quiet morning together.
I know.
I wish we could somehow
freeze this moment.
That's a great idea.
- Let's do that.
- Well, if we're gonna freeze a moment...
...how about this one?
(SQUEAKS)
- What the duck?
- (CHILDREN LAUGHING)
You couldn't let your parents have
five minutes alone, could you?
Believe me,
you're not getting this duck back
any time soon.
(GASPS)
LIAM: Hey.
I'm sorry, didn't mean to wake you.
Especially since it looked like
you were dreaming about something fun.
Me? No, no, no, no.
Just a totally average,
boring dream. Didn't mean anything.
Where are you going off to,
and, more importantly,
is that infinity scarf going with you?
The producers who own the
movie rights to my book
want me to meet with some
hotshot indie director.
Now, if I can get her on board,
they might finally turn it into a movie.
Liam, that's unbelievable.
It's still a long sh*t.
This isn't the first time
they've showed interest.
Well, they'd be idiots not to turn
The Biggest Payday into
the biggest blockbuster.
You're gonna crush that meeting.
Without, uh, this.
I think we're supposed to celebrate
after the meeting goes well.
Right, yes.
It's just this role
reversal is pretty hot.
I mean, hustling in the
mornings is usually my thing.
Yeah, what are you gonna do today?
Anything but my job, I guess.
Because, you know,
my self-worth can't be
just about building a
massive media empire
or blazing trails as a female CEO.
Although, you know, if it were,
I'd be fine with that.
Okay, but you said that you
were gonna use this time
to figure out who you can be
beyond Fallon the CEO
to feel more fulfilled.
Not just fine.
Right. I did.
And I'm not gonna figure
that out by lying in bed
- all day.
- Mm-mm.
Although maybe ten more minutes.
No. I'm kidding.
It is time for me to expand my life
and seize the day.
Mm, I can't believe this is
our first breakfast-not-in-bed
since we were reunited by fate
and I was falsely accused of m*rder.
You don't hear me complaining.
Neither am I.
I just want to catch up.
Clothed.
Hey, I am on board with that.
Whenever you want.
The next few days are packed
with errands and business
for the skin care line launch with Adam.
Oh, you mean your psycho son
who tried to frame you for m*rder?
Top of the morning to,
uh, well, both of you.
I forgave Adam.
And I would do the same thing
if you framed me for m*rder.
But make no mistake.
Alexam is my company.
Adam is a measly two letters
on the back-third of the name.
Well, then why do you even need him?
I'm throwing him a
bone to keep him happy,
since I stole most of his company.
Plus he is a doctor.
And his participation helps
legitimize the product.
Well, I still don't trust him.
Or, uh... him.
Dex?
Things are going great.
Look, just make sure he's
into you for you, okay?
And not some dream version of you
he invented when he was in college
and you were Blake's hot new wife.
Look, I just don't want to see you hurt.
DEX: So...
I guess I'll see you when you're
done with all your... stuff.
Unless...
you would like to come with me.
And maybe we could catch up
in between tasks?
Sure.
I think I can clear my schedule.
Mmm, perfect.
Thanks for agreeing to meet today.
Of course I'm here, Mr. CEO.
Mr. Interim CEO.
Oh, same thing. I was ecstatic
when your assistant called.
I have something I wanted to run by you.
But what's with the formalities?
I'm getting acquainted with
Fallon Unlimited's FSN slate
and you're part of that,
so I'm gonna jump right in.
Your FSN sales have stalled.
So now is the time for your next move.
Couldn't agree more.
Well, FSN airs internationally,
yet your brand doesn't sell
well outside of the U.S. market.
It's time you took Dom-Mystique global.
Have you seen the news
about NordicStar Airlines?
They're accepting submissions
to overhaul all their uniforms.
I did hear about that.
Landing a contract like
this would be a dream.
Yeah, and would literally
take your brand worldwide.
But it's a dream. NordicStar only works
with award-winning designers,
which I will
eventually be, but I'm not there yet.
However...
I... want to enter Fashion
Fest East and compete
for the Plume d'Or Award.
Past winners have gone
on to do big things
on the international stage.
I want to be more
than a ready-to-wear designer,
but I have to do it at the right pace
and with the right help. So...
any chance you can make a call for me?
(WAVES CRASHING)
Thank God, there you are!
I've been looking everywhere
for you. Today is the first day
of the rest of my life,
and I need your help.
Well, I was just about to
set my daily intention.
But I can pull a card for you next.
What? No, I said I needed help,
- not a scene from Hocus Pocus.
- Okay.
Well, you're not getting
anything with that rude 'tude.
Look, I'm sorry,
it's probably just my anxiety talking.
I realized that my life has been one...
singular, perfectly pitched
note when it really should be
more like an Etta James
featuring Stevie Nicks
harmony-packed power anthem.
- Huh?
- I need to be more well-rounded.
I have to explore what
fulfills me outside of work.
I mean, I can't spend my
whole life in the boardroom.
Oh, no, I'm not falling for this.
Fallon Carrington is all work,
all the time.
And I will not be used as your alibi
to sneak back into the office
like you did with Liam.
No, I'm serious.
I am more than just my job.
I just need your help figuring
out what that more is.
I mean, you're always so
good at redefining yourself.
Well, it's true,
I am quite multitalented.
When I was , I...
Okay, we're still talking about me...
let's stay on topic.
Of course I'll help you.
(CRISTAL STRAINING)
BETO: Don't waste your time, hermana.
You're not getting out of here
even if your hands are free.
This psychotic plan of
yours is never gonna work.
Sorry, sweetie.
It totally is.
I just waited for your husband
to leave his computer open
long enough to get the account numbers
needed to complete the transfer.
- Did you call the lawyer?
- He's working
on the documents now.
And will call me directly
when they're ready.
Then I'll sign my name...
well, your name...
on the dotted line,
collect a handsome
check from your brother,
and be on my very merry way.
Flores Incorporado will
be back where it belongs.
- With me.
- You gave up your right to the company
the day you left México.
When Blake figures this out,
he's gonna k*ll you... both.
I hate to break it to you,
but he couldn't be more oblivious.
Blake, like the rest of the family,
barely notices me. You.
- Us?
- You won't get away with this.
(IN CRISTAL'S VOICE): Oh.
But we already have.
♪ ♪
I know the book can read
like a standard drama,
but I think the movie has the
potential to be so much more.
In the right hands, of course.
So what do you think? You interested?
I wouldn't be here if I wasn't.
But my schedule is kind of
all over the place these days.
Do the producers have any idea
of when they'd like to start sh**ting?
Well, they would work
around your schedule.
Of course. Uh...
This is a rough calendar
that they've sent me.
You'll probably understand
it better than I do.
- Hey, what are you doing here?
- Hey.
- Nina.
- Wow, I really hoped I'd never have
to see you and your delicate
sensibilities ever again.
Oh, you mean my manners?
So you two clearly know each other?
Unfortunately. It was minutes
of my life I'll never get back.
Let's not make it .
I have work to do.
Pardon the interruption, milady.
Oh. You're friends with that guy?
(STAMMERS) I wouldn't say friends.
I don't like to label.
He, uh, used to work
for the Carringtons.
Well, this has been informative.
I think I have all I need from you.
Oh, should I have the producers
reach out to your people?
Don't worry about that.
We know where to find you.
She is stylish. She's graceful.
She's a badass CEO, but now...
she is so much more. Please meet...
Fallon the professor.
Eh, I'm much less of a teacher
and more of a doer. Next.
What about Fallon the artiste?
Oh, you mean like Alexis
and her creepy dog paintings? Pass.
Uh, what about an ambassadorship?
You could be a diplomat.
I feel like you're missing the point.
I'm not looking for more employment.
I am looking for more fulfillment.
I need something that feeds my soul.
Okay. More fulfillment.
Let's see, um...
(MUTTERS)
Aha!
Fallon the philanthropist.
Ooh.
Yeah. That could work.
I mean,
that might just check all the boxes.
I've chipped in for plenty of
worthy causes over the years,
it's just that none of them were mine.
They were the foundation's.
Or court-mandated.
Giving back is a great way
to be more well-rounded.
I just need to find something
that speaks to me, you know?
Beyoncé has housing.
Bill Gates has health care.
Paul Newman had salad dressing.
What do I have?
Uh...
- (GASPS)
- (HORSE NEIGHS)
Horses.
Oh, uh...
A hot cowboy staying
at La Mirage just told me about,
um, the, uh...
Heroic Hooves Foundation.
I do love horses.
And this place has community programs
where I could really make a difference.
This could be right.
I think it is,
and now I'll finally have an excuse
to buy that fringe vest
I've been online stalking.
This isn't about expanding
my wardrobe, Sam,
it's about expanding my life.
Although I'll never say no to fringe.
(CHUCKLES) Hey.
Kirby.
Thanks for stopping by.
Of course. Jeff never asks for favors,
so whatever you're cooking
up must be important.
Beyond. I officially
entered the Fashion Fest lineup.
But my competitors are
some heavy hitters.
Usually are.
designers,
three looks, including a...
showstopper, right?
You do know your stuff.
The theme this year is "the divine."
Kind of like me.
If I could win that award,
the high fashion society will
welcome me with open arms.
I'm loving your color story.
And the draping.
Thank you.
But I need some accessories.
Which is why I wanted you.
I remember you did
that campaign with
Randall Byers last year.
You wore those crystal headpieces.
Can you make an intro?
I don't know, Dom.
I haven't spoken to anyone
there in over a year, and I'd
- rather not...
- If you can find a way
to make an intro,
I'll put you in the show.
Thanks, but no thanks.
- I don't model anymore.
- You don't?
No, it's just not something
I'm interested in.
You know, been there, done that.
I don't even read Vogue.
Winning this award
would mean a lot to me.
I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important.
Okay, I'll call Randall.
But that's all I can do.
Okay, I owe you big-time.
Greyhound, extra grapefruit, right?
Oh, did I hear you say "greyhound"?
You know mixing grapefruit
juice with your medication
is not allowed.
Oh, my God... you're right.
I totally spaced.
Mitchell just emailed me a contract
to transfer Flores Inc. back to Beto.
What the hell's going on?
Wait, why did he send that to you?
Well, the company's under
the Carrington family trust,
which means we both have to sign
off on it, but more importantly,
why are you trying to give
the company back to Beto?
(SIGHS)
Breaking ties with Beto
and taking over the family business
is just a lot for me.
Oh, you're just anxious.
The company's fine, it's making money.
I'm not gonna sign off on
the transfer right now.
We can circle back to
it in a few months.
(WOMAN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY IN DISTANCE)
(HORSE NEIGHS)
It feels nice getting my hands dirty
for a good cause.
And all while inspiring
the next fashion trend.
Revival ranch.
Yeah, but I'm not sure
this is the answer.
You know, I was hoping for fewer
blisters and a bigger spark.
No one's gonna say,
"Oh, Fallon Carrington,
the one who unloads hay for charity."
PATTY (CHUCKLES):
Fallon Carrington unloading hay?
OMG, it is you.
Wow! Patty.
It's been forever.
(BOTH CHUCKLING)
Patricia de Vilbis. Uh...
Fallon and I used to compete
on the junior equestrian
- circuit together.
- Aw, isn't that just the cutest?
No, it really wasn't.
So what are you doing here?
I got involved with the
foundation a few years ago.
TBH, despite having it all,
I still felt like something was missing.
Well, I know the feeling.
It's actually the reason
why I decided to take
a break from the grind
of running my majorly
successful company.
- Well, good on ya.
- Mm-hmm.
I really wish that I
could stay and chat,
but I have to finish
prep for this auction.
Oh, uh, what kind of auction?
You know,
the kind where fancy racehorses
are auctioned off to
support the foundation.
It was good to see you.
Well, she's fun.
And likes to abbreviate.
So, should we head out?
We can find something else
that will light your fire.
I think we just did.
So, Brigitte, are you ready
for the big showstopping move?
Okay, let's talk this
through once again.
Strut, strut, strut,
hit your mark, strike a pose,
release the button,
jacket falls into the dress,
strike another pose, slay, delay,
then walk away.
Do you think maybe I could take
the dress home to practice?
And what about Randall's headpieces?
KIRBY: They're here!
And they're crowns, Brigitte.
Maybe you can come back
tomorrow morning a little
early and practice, okay?
Mm-hmm. Good night.
Oh, thank you so much
for making this happen.
Isn't it amazing?
Oh, Kirby, get the finale skirt.
(GASPS)
What is it? You don't like it?
No, the dress is stunning,
but this tear is not.
(WHIMPERING)
Brigitte must have snagged it.
- What now?
- I don't know.
I can't just sew it back together.
It will look terrible.
I'm going to have to
get more fabric and...
start over. Oh, God.
LIAM: Hey, Michael.
Look, I know you're working.
I just have a quick favor to ask.
No problem.
I'm actually glad you stopped by.
I'm sorry about earlier.
I didn't realize it was Nina
until it was too late to turn around.
Yeah, look, about that,
Nina is actually why I'm here.
- What's the deal with you two?
- We went on a bad date.
Actually it was more like half a date.
Which was more than
enough time to realize
that we were meant to be far apart.
Well, I'm trying to convince her
to direct a movie based off my book.
But now she's not answering
any of my calls or-or my texts.
Which is probably for the best.
You don't want Nina
anywhere near your project.
She's stubborn and self-involved.
Yeah, right, but she's a director.
And there won't be a
project without Nina.
Which is why I'm-I'm asking,
as a favor...
can you call her and apologize?
Apologize? For what?
Look, I don't know.
For whatever you did.
All I know is-is that the
meeting was going great
until you stopped by and she
saw that we were friends.
Oh, right, that's because
she's also judgmental
and has no manners.
Look, I helped you dodge a b*llet.
You should actually be thanking me.
- I'm not gonna thank you.
- Well, I'm not going to apologize.
Tony the gardener was able
to track down variegated
monsteras for me.
I want the penthouse
to look jungle chic.
Oh. Sure, I understood all that.
We just need to carry
them out one at a time.
And by "we," I mean "you."
Because I just got a new gel set.
Is that okay?
Otherwise, I can have Tony help me.
No way. I am good to go.
Do you not remember that I
stole this house back from you?
I mean, memory problems
are common at your age.
I remember that you're a jackass,
so I think I'm doing okay.
I'm just here because Tony
procured some plants for me.
Well, you know, Tony doesn't work
here on Tuesdays anymore.
So you and your paid
companion can leave.
He's not an escort, you moron.
Well, at least not a paid one.
I should pay you to spend time together.
- (CHUCKLES)
- Which I now realize
sounds like the plot to Pretty Woman,
so forget that.
Hey, Blake.
It's Dex Dexter.
Oh... Farnsworth.
Yes, it has been a while.
His father was on the board at C.A.
back when my father was running things.
Nice to meet you. And well done, Alexis.
Is something wrong
with your wife, Blake?
- More than usual, I mean.
- You know, I think she was being polite.
You're probably not used to it.
Wait.
I know.
You finally had that surgery.
The one where the doctor
removes the stick from your ass.
(CHUCKLES) Oh.
Do you want my doctor's info?
He's a miracle worker.
Although it may take more
than that to help you.
BLAKE: Okay. Well, this has been fun.
I'm sure that you can find your way out.
Oh, I will.
Just as soon as Dex
puts my plants in the car.
Lead me to your fertile soil.
KIRBY:
Why is this fabric so hard to find?
It's a specialty import.
I never dreamt I'd need more of it.
And we've called every store
east of the Mississippi.
Fashion Fest is tomorrow,
and I don't have a finale look,
which means...
it's time to pivot.
Sure, pivot.
What do you mean by "pivot"?
Pivot. Think outside of the box.
Something different.
In all that time you modeled last year,
did anything like this ever happen?
I guess so.
You kind of work with what
you got and roll with it.
I think I can do that.
See, this is more what I was picturing.
Well, you do blend right in.
I'm talking about the horses.
(GASPS) Specifically...
this one, wow.
Hi, girl. Hi, Leonora.
This was such a big part of my life.
Why did I give this up?
Well, you know, you grew up, matured.
Well, I'm just glad that
something finally brought me
back to this place.
And to you... Isn't that right, girl?
She's gorge, isn't she?
She is perfect.
Or as you would say, perf.
What a fun surprise
to see you both again.
It's like every time
I turn around, there you are... IRL.
Well, you better get used to it.
Because I am going to build
my own stable of racehorses
and support HHF with the winnings.
Starting with Leonora.
Wait, I love that.
Fallon Carrington:
Mother Teresa of Horse Girls.
(SIGHS) Hold on.
I think I just saw the guy
passing the tuna tartare.
Hey.
Okay, we're alone now.
Why are you really here? I am not buying
this whole emotional connection act.
It's not an act.
Leonora just sparked something in me.
Well, you obviously heard that
I had my sights set on her.
I will not let you
waltz back into my life
and take what isn't yours.
You think I'm here because of you?
- Yeah.
- Has one of these horses
kicked you in the head?
Because you're out of your mind.
You're out of your league if
you think you're gonna win.
See you on the auction floor, bitch.
(SCOFFS) All right.
I'll see you there. I cannot wait
to kick your ass just like always.
BT-dubs.
He said we'll circle
back in a few months.
We don't have that kind of time.
You can't fool them forever.
Actually, I'm starting to think I can.
The more time I spend with Blake,
the more I realize
he only cares about making money.
That's great, but we still
need him to sign the documents.
That's why we hit him where
he'll actually feel it.
I'll show him Cristal's gonna
hurt the family's bottom line.
- You think that'll work?
- Trust me, I know this guy now.
Fine, but don't push it too hard.
My sister's not a moron.
We don't want to make him suspicious.
BLAKE: No, that's okay,
I think I left it up in the bedroom.
I got to go.
(CLEARS THROAT) No.
I know it's my fault.
I just never saw the emails.
We'll make it up somehow.
What was that all about?
That was a member of the Flores board.
(SIGHS) I may have just caused
the company to lose millions.
- Millions?
- Yeah, there was
a ticking clock on a deal,
and I just never saw the emails
and didn't okay it in time,
so they went with someone else.
It was a stupid mistake.
But an expensive one.
I know Beto can be difficult,
but the transfer really might
be better for all of us in the long run.
Honey, a company like Flores
can take a hit or two.
You'll settle in soon enough.
Yeah, no, no, no. Nina just needs
a few more days to work
through some things.
Yeah, look,
there-there's no reason to panic.
Yeah.
Yeah, will do.
(SIGHS)
Sounds like you're having
a similarly awful start to your day.
At the risk of making things worse,
have you seen my brother?
No, it hasn't been that bad.
I just need to find Adam to amend
some ridiculous Alexam requests.
Well, if you stick around,
I'm sure he'll be back soon.
I mean, the guy doesn't have much
of a life outside the
hospital or this house.
Two places that would probably
be better off without him.
- (LAUGHS)
- You know what, as for sticking around,
I'm realizing more and more
that waiting for someone
to make things right
is just wasted energy.
Especially when I could be
doing much more pleasant things.
Thanks for the reminder.
Actually, thank you.
MAN: Jay's Flowers.
Yeah, hi,
I'd like to place an order, please.
- What can I get you?
- Whatever arrangement
you have that smells like an apology.
Patty and I were never friends.
Both of our families were in oil,
we crossed paths.
And then I kicked her ass
all over the equestrian ring.
And I guess she still
hasn't gotten over it.
Oh, look. Leonora is up.
Ah, ooh!
AUCTIONEER: Ladies and gentlemen,
we'll start
the bidding for the lovely
Leonora at $ , .
Do I hear $ , ? ,
to the back bidder.
Bidder, thank you so much.
Looking for ... do I hear ?
, . Thank you so much.
Do I hear , ?
, to Ms. de Vilbis.
Thank you so much.
Got , . Do I hear , ?
- !
- What? What are you doing?
Oh, sorry,
I just got caught up in the excitement.
- Never mind.
- I'll go for , .
, right here, bidder, bidder!
Looking for seven.
I've got , ! Thank you so much.
Do I hear , ?
, , bidder, bidder!
Looking for nine.
- , ...
- Uh, one million.
- $ million, bidder, bidder...
- Wow, you sure do like losing to me, don't you?
No, not this time,
because your daddy isn't here
to bribe the auctioneer like
he did the competition judges.
- One million-five.
- $ . million...
You mean like the time your dad tried
to pay me to let you win the
southeast regional? One-six.
PATTY: Uh, one-seven.
- FALLON: One-eight!
- One-nine!
- Two million.
- $ million!
Okay, let's remember
why you're here, you know?
The good cause? Your personal growth?
Take it down a notch.
We have Ms. Carrington at $ million!
- Do I hear . ?
- BOTH: Two-one!
What? No. It was my turn.
Well, you never could keep up.
And you could never shut up.
Three million!
Three-one!
(SCREAMS)
(ALL GASPING, MURMURING)
And done.
Ladies, please! Hold on.
While the foundation appreciates
your enthusiasm and
certainly your generosity,
we need to maintain
decorum and our schedule.
So we'll finish this sale
with a single sealed bid.
All bids are due in ten minutes.
Good luck.
Oh, she's scared.
Now I just need to figure
out how high to bid
and which champagne to celebrate with.
♪ My heart's forsaken me. ♪
You look stunning.
Is this the same outfit?
It looks different.
It's the same but better. Trust me.
Okay, the move is
just like we discussed last night.
The only adjustment is, you release
the button, shift, and zip down.
Uh... there was no,
there was no zipping before.
You can't just spring this on me.
I need time to practice.
Adversity in art creates magic.
This isn't magic, it's a zipper.
WOMAN: Ms. Deveraux, one minute!
Just take your time with it.
Can you help her?
Maybe give her your
"roll with it" pep talk?
If she can't pull off
this reveal,
I am going to look like an amateur.
I'll try.
I don't think she's gonna be
able to make it work, though.
(DOMINIQUE GROANS)
This is a disaster.
Okay. Coach her to walk
without the transformation.
Better to be safe than embarrassed.
ANNOUNCER: And now the designer of our
next collection, Dominique Devereaux!
(APPLAUSE)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Hey, did you settle on a number yet?
Still working through it.
If Patty's pockets are
as deep as her grudge,
what makes you think she
won't bid million?
You're right.
I should probably go in
for more than I thought.
What? No, no, I was... (LAUGHS)
I was making a point,
which you are clearly not getting.
You can give the same
amount of money to HHF,
walk away with ten horses,
and avoid this petty pony show.
Which is why I have a suggestion.
Hey.
Fallon, meet Daniel.
He's the cowboy that
suggested HHF to me.
Not sure now's the time for me
to meet your new boyfriend, Sam.
I'm a horse trainer.
And Sam tells me you're
starting a stable.
The truth is,
Leonora's pretty to look at,
but there are other horses here
with more winning potential.
Well, thank you for the hot tip,
Daniel, but as Sam
keeps reminding me,
I am here for a much larger purpose.
And that purpose involves Leonora.
Why aren't you supporting me on this?
Because you're just as bad as
Cruella de Vilbis over there.
And I don't want you to wake
up one morning, back at work,
and realize that you wasted this chance
on some stupid childhood rivalry.
Okay, well, all the money will
still be going to charity,
so it still feeds my feel-good fund.
(SCOFFS)
I am so sorry to have wasted your time.
I thought she was here because
she wanted to expand her life,
but, um...
I guess I was wrong.
You know, I was so excited
when you came to me.
I decided to help because
I actually believed
you were interested in being
someone who's more fulfilled,
more well-rounded, but right now
all you seem to care
about is b*ating someone.
And you, well,
you don't need my help for that.
So...
- Hey, there you are.
- Thanks for coming, sweetheart.
Of course.
I wouldn't miss your big moment.
Wish I could miss it. I had to nix
the big transformation, which basically
kills any hope for the Plume.
Wow, this is a...
a whole new vibe you got going on here.
Maybe I'll just slip out the back.
Oh, come on, I'm sure it'll be...
Wait, what the hell?

She's never practiced the reveal.

As a reminder,
bidding was paused at $ . million.
Ms. de Vilbis has bid
an additional $ million, bringing
the total to $ . million.
A new HHF record.
Ms. Carrington, in order to win,
must bid a total of more
than $ . million.
Ms. Carrington bid... one dollar?
Is this some kind of joke?
No joke, auction guy.
Leonora is all hers
for . million.
Now onto the next horse.
I'm supposed to say that.
Congrats, Patty.
Aw, don't pout just because
you were too scared to bid.
Believe it or not, this wasn't about you
or winning or competition.
It was about doing
something new and good
for not only myself but for others.
I just forgot that for a second.
Yeah. I don't believe you.
I'll totally get you
tix when Leonora races.
Just call me whenevs.
(LAUGHS): Oh, Patty.
When I call you something,
it is gonna be
so much worse than "whenevs."
AUCTIONEER: $ , .
We'll start the bidding, therefore,
at $ , . Do I hear...?
Thank you again for stopping by.
I just needed to work
through some stuff,
but sometimes things correct themselves.
I think we should do this...
if you're still interested.
I will never tell.
It's called a secret ingredient
for a reason. Hey.
What are you doing here?
Well, I was dropping off a
birthday present for Mrs. G.
Uh, it was great to see you.
We're just kind of in the
middle of a thing here.
Of course. I will leave you two alone.
Guys, just chill. We're all good.
Although next time I'd prefer
an apology bottle of gin over flowers.
I'm sorry. What?
I'm kidding. It was a nice gesture.
And although I hate to admit it,
your apology note
was impressive.
You have a way with words.
And the lack of comprehension
on your face makes me think
you have no idea what I'm talking about.
Let me explain.
You sent her flowers in
my name and apologized?
Guess I don't have to explain.
I shouldn't have done it, I know.
I just panicked when I
didn't hear back from you.
- It was stupid.
- Okay, for the record,
I didn't call you back
because I was trying
to make sure the schedule worked.
But now none of this works.
No, no, no, please,
the producers were pressuring me.
I felt like I was out of options.
And now you are.
(STAMMERS)
I told you this had
nothing to do with me.
What were you thinking?
I guess I hadn't realized how much
I wanted this until I
saw it slipping away.
And after consulting with Amanda,
I can't honor all of your requests.
I'm so sorry.
Of course, Amanda would agree with that.
Seems fair to me considering
what you put your mother through.
I'm sorry, who are you?
Oh, hey. Dex Dexter.
I'm a friend of your mom's.
That's a great, great name.
Excuse me.
(SIGHS) Well...
that went well.
Okay, just a few more stops
and then we'll be done.
You like beauty stores, right?
(CHUCKLES) Listen,
I've loved the last few days,
but I got to ask...
What the hell is going on here?
I know, I've dragged you all over town.
It's just insane.
Alexis, I feel like you're testing me,
and I just don't know
what I need to do to pass.
So I'm gonna go home.
Unless you want to tell me the truth.
Fine.
I'm...
just a little confused about this.
Us.
If it's not serious,
and this is just a...
bucket list thing for you,
I'm flattered.
And it's fine.
But I need to know.
(CHUCKLES)
This isn't a game for me.
You really think I like doing errands?
This is real, Alexis.
But fair is fair.
And I have errands to run.
And I'd like you to join me.
- Of course.
- Problem is... they're in Dubai.
So... if you're okay with it,
we'll fly over there and stay
at my family's house for a few weeks.
Ah, it's less of a house
and more of a castle, actually.
Oh, really?
Well, I-I think I can handle that.
It's a plan.
Wait till you see what's on the menu.
Okay if we start with dessert?
It's your special night.
(WINCES)
I'm sorry. I just need a minute.
Well, what is it? What can I do?
Nothing.
I've just been so out of sorts.
The sh**ting, the campaign,
running Flores Inc.,
I just... feel like it's crushing me.
Ah.
Honey, I had no idea
it was this hard for you.
I should have listened to you before.
I'll call the lawyers and I'll tell them
to change the contract.
Blake.
Thank you.
Nothing is worth seeing you suffer.
You mean too much to me.
Thank you for your support.
I couldn't have done it
without you,
and even though I didn't win...
- You were robbed.
- Completely.
Yes, I know, but the point is,
even though I didn't win,
I am damn proud of my designs.
- Cheers.
- (CHUCKLES)
It's ginger ale.
DOMINIQUE:
And I'm hoping we can do this again
in the future, if you're interested.
I know this probably
wasn't easy for you.
Yeah, it wasn't easy,
but your fierce attitude,
in the face of all the setbacks,
really inspired me.
I couldn't let you down.
I'm glad because I was panicked.
Hey, you were both impressive.
I realized just how much I missed this.
Modeling wasn't the reason
for all my problems.
It was just the bad choices
I made when I was doing it.
Well, I'm excited to see
what's next for you.
And, Mom,
you turned some serious heads today.
Randall was gushing
about your looks.
There'll be more chances
to baby-step into the
high-end fashion club.
You're right... just like you
were right about NordicStar.
But I'm done taking baby steps
and hoping they let me in their club.
Dominique Deveraux doesn't
ask for permission.
So NordicStar is back in play?
Oh, it's not only back in play.
It's the play.
That's what I like to hear.
You know you have to return that, right?
Yeah, I know.
Just not yet.
Don't forget to count this.
Obviously it's for you, not the club.
Just seemed like a good way in.
(SETS BOTTLE DOWN)
Look, it's my real apology
for the fake flowers
and for involving you in my drama.
Well, I appreciate the gesture.
Although I do actually like flowers.
(LAUGHS) Noted.
All right, look, I should've been more
up front with you, it's just...
I don't know,
it wasn't my first instinct to share
my insecurities with
my wife's ex-boyfriend
who has his whole life together.
Oh, trust me, there are many things
in my life that are not together.
It's just difficult to
watch Fallon sometimes,
who's always fired up about something,
when I got nothing exciting.
Well, if there's anyone who understands
where you're coming from, it's me.
But that whole fake apology thing?
Please do not try that on Nina again.
Wait, again? Why would I need to...?
'Cause...
I convinced Nina to give
you a second chance.
But it took a little bartering.
She mentioned
her hectic schedule, so I offered
the hotel as an additional location
for more flexibility.
She'll be contacting
your producers tonight.
I don't know what to say, man.
Just promise me you'll leave
the emotional espionage
to your wife because you
are really not good at that.
Thank you.
I owe you big-time, all right?
I promise you won't regret this.
Well, if Nina's gonna be around,
I bet I will.
I saw Patty's Insta-gloat.
Your final bid was a dollar?
Well, I took your advice
and I walked away.
I probably should have
listened to you sooner,
but, you know,
sometimes I can be a little stubborn.
No.
But I feel like I did
walk away with some wins.
I mean, the foundation raised
a record amount of money.
And I revived my love for horses.
All right, but maybe,
with whatever's next,
don't put so much pressure on yourself
to make it happen overnight.
All right?
What's the hurry?
I have had more near-death experiences
than the average -something-year-old.
I mean, what if I don't have
that much time left?
That's why you're concerned?
I'm pretty sure nothing
can k*ll you at this point.
No, strangely,
it's not so much about the dying.
It's about what happens after.
When everyone thought I was dead,
the only words
used to describe me
in my obituaries were "CEO,
"oil heiress,
beautiful." I mean, all true.
- But...
- (CHUCKLES)
not exactly anything to be proud of.
- You know you're more than that.
- Yeah, but no one else seems to know.
And the truth is, if I die,
I'm not leaving the world
much better than I found it.
So what are you gonna do?
I need to be better.
- Big things are coming, Sam.
- And the horses?
Oh, I'm absolutely
still starting a stable.
In fact, I just bid on a
horse that Daniel suggested...
Allegra. He offered to train
her for me so I could b*at
the hell out of Patty on the racetrack.
Oh, what?
I'm not actually Mother Teresa.
Beto, wait. What are you doing?
Despite what you think,
I'm not a bad person.
Yeah, just a greedy one.
(SCOFFS)
Why let me free now?
Oh, you're not going anywhere.
I just needed to clear the room
of anything dangerous
before I untied you.
I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself.
(CHUCKLES) I already told you.
You can't break those glass doors.
And even if you could,
you're not gonna bust
through the bars anyway.
Just accept this is gonna
be your home for now.
As long as you're calm, you can keep
your hands free and
stretch out your legs.
(DOOR OPENS)
¿Me entendiste?
RITA:
Blake agreed to sign away the company.
The transfer documents will
be ready in a few days.
BETO (SIGHS): We are one signature away
from getting everything we want.
(CHUCKLES) It's amazing
what some lingerie
can do to change a man's mind.
You're a liar.
You know Blake isn't one to
be talked out of something
without getting something in return.
How do you think this will play out?
Once I tell the truth,
the courts will reverse the transfer.
Once I'm in Mexico, I'm untouchable.
And I'll just be some
hallucination your foggy mind
conjured up. Do you really think
anyone is gonna believe
your double delusion?
Especially after that brain tumor.
Remember, behave yourself and
all this will be over soon.
I find it poetic that
Blake's love for his wife
is the reason he's so easy to fool.
His loyalty is hot.
I'm really growing fond
of the Carrington lifestyle and Blake.
Enjoy it while you can.
Because it won't last.
You won't get away with this.
I don't want to get away.
That's the point.
Who wants to disappear
with a paycheck from Beto
when I could live like
a queen in Atlanta?
All I need to do
is erase you.
("TILIKUM"
BY BENJAMIN FRANCIS LEFTWICH PLAYING)
So the movie is a go.
I mean,
I still have to write a screenplay.
And you didn't think it
was a real opportunity.
(LAUGHS) I don't know.
I think I was just afraid I'd jinx it.
But now that it's finally happening,
I have to admit that it feels good.
So what happened with the auction?
Well, I lost the horse.
But I ended up with something
much better in the end.
I'm gonna change the world.
Wow, sounds like an exciting auction.
Let's just say Patty held up a mirror,
and I didn't like what I saw.
And it's up to me to change that.
Well, I am impressed. It's a lofty goal.
But for the record,
I love looking at you.
Mirror or no mirror.
It's nice that it finally
feels like our futures
are coming into focus.
Now that we've basically figured
out the rest of our lives,
we can celebrate.
♪ Tonight you're flying out of hell ♪
♪ Be my rose... ♪
Whoa.
- Where did you go?
- I'm sorry.
You just,
you reminded me of one more thing.
Yesterday...
when you woke me up,
I actually was dreaming.
And I have been dreaming
almost every night since my coma...
about our future.
Are you worried about us?
Not at all.
It's just that every time,
it's me, you...
and our children.
And I just didn't mention it
because... I wasn't sure how I felt
about it.
- And now?
- Well, and now I'm thinking...
if I'm going to leave the
world a better place...
shouldn't we have an
adorable family to run it?
I know the last time that
we talked about kids,
you were hesitant.
So...
when you're ready to talk,
I would love to reopen
that conversation.
I think, um...
I just need some time to think.
